Haha do you believe the biggest buyer or beer in the country is being sold "nearly out of date beer" try and educate yourself before talking absolute shite....they sell nearly out-of-date beer, that's why it''s cheap and why you often end up with the squits
As some one who worked in the brewing industry for 25 yrs u would not believe the power they have.They do not buy nearly out of date beer.Haha do you believe the biggest buyer or beer in the country is being sold "nearly out of date beer" try and educate yourself before talking absolute shite....
The out of date beer claim is a myth, and if aggressive pricing means that families can go out and eat together and it not cost a huge amount then I'm all for it.they sell nearly out-of-date beer, that's why it''s cheap and why you often end up with the squits the next day.
they are like the supermarket of pubs = high volume, low margins...
their aggressive pricing policies undercutting the traditional local pub has helped to put a huge amount of them out of business, just like the supermarkets put lots of small shops out of business.
Exactly, yet some morons still peddle the same shite, that they do. I wonder why they do this .?As some one who worked in the brewing industry for 25 yrs u would not believe the power they have.They do not buy nearly out of date beer.
It's called " economy of scale" , and as you correctly state,it's the sheer volume of beer/wine/ spirits that the Wetherspoons group buy that allows them to sell beer at a very competitive cost.As some one who worked in the brewing industry for 25 yrs u would not believe the power they have.They do not buy nearly out of date beer.
You shopped in supermarkets, is there many other options ?okay.
it seems my nearly out-of-date claim clearly is a myth,
fair enough,
i googled it and you are right.
hands up, i believed it when told it.
like the man in the orthopaedic shoe i stand corrected...
but the main point i was making is that multinational corporations are, imo, not good for the long-term survival of smaller businesses.
they are eradicating individuality and replacing it with look-alike town centres throughout the land.
of course people will choose the cheapest option,
it's stupid not to do if you aren't flush.
when i lived in england i shopped in supermarkets and often drank in spoons.
which makes me a hypocrite so i'd better shut up :)
no idea why i got on one in the first place haha
that was sort of the point i was badly making.You shopped in supermarkets, is there many other options ?
Someone said the out of date thing about 20 years ago and its bollox. As if you could operate 800 pubs on the hope Rodger in Oxford might have 2 barrels of bitter going out of date next week . Biggest draft selling product is Pepsi and Biggest actual drink product sold is coffee.they sell nearly out-of-date beer, that's why it''s cheap and why you often end up with the squits the next day.

There are about 50,000 convenience stores in the UK!when supermarkets started up they aggressively priced products, which meant that we all began to use them instead of the local shops we'd traditionally used, to save a few quid.
once the local shops are out of business the supermarkets can do what they like and up their prices exponentially until they are not the cheap option they used to be because there's not many other choices.
spent many an evening in hanley spoons, mate, but, yes, the morning addicts that frequent all the spoons make them a grim place early doors.The other thing is I’ll often end up in a Spoons for breakfast if I’m away and got some work or reading to do before the day starts in earnest and I’ve seen some right sights at nine in the morning. Addicts, feeding their addiction basically.
The Spoons in Hanley, Peterlee, Grimsby and Walsall being especially notable.
quick google tells me that's 70% less than 50 years agoThere are about 50,000 convenience stores in the UK!
